My Typhoon Ondoy Experience

4:49 PM

Yesterday, the waters have already receded and I was already able to go to work. Everyone in our street (Marconi Street, Makati City) joined hands to clean the streets. I am one of the lucky ones that didn't lose any life and/or property. The only thing drastic that affected me is the lack of water supply so I go to the gym everyday to shower. Here are some of the pictures I took yesterday as soon as I woke up:

According to the Philippine National Red Cross, around 80 people have been confirmed dead already and there's no telling if that number stops there. My compassion and my prayers goes out to everyone.
